GARRETT ECKBO
An alumn of Berkeley and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Garrett Eckbo was a
modernist landscape architect who viewed the landscape as an avenue for
societal change. Under the guidance of Walter Gropius, former director of the Bauhaus
School of Modern Art, Garrett, along with Dan Kiley and James Rose helped to
shift the focus of landscape design from the more formalized Beaux Arts style
to that of Modernism. A founding principal of the landscape architecture firm
EDAW, he is the author of numerous books. His most influential work, arguably,
is titled “Landscape for Living.”
The following list is but a few of his notable
